I'm just entering into a poly lifestyle. It's all new to me, but it seems to ring true. And it's all been from reading the posts on the poly tribes here. I've always been mono, as has the woman I've been seeing, but I talked to her about it and she agreed it was the way to go. Now I have a few more poly women I've met here who I'm going to meet in person in the near future, and see how that goes. Not sure if I can handle it yet, but it feels right to me.

i dont believe in monogomy, nor do I believe polyamory. I have a true love, but open relationship sexually.

There are a billion definitions to "poly." My life view is that:

"The more you love, the more you can love–and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had time enough, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just.”

And I am blessed to be involved with individuals who believe and live the same. ;)

I have been poly for many years......it is the only way to be.

Guess I have never been the kind of person who lets society dictate my choicesor lable me…so…that has to filter into who I choose to have sex with. I have never had anonymous sex…doesn’t sound fun to me. Sex to me is too much about the intimacy and the sharing of self. But to limit my intimacy to only one person who society says I should want to own…at times seems stifling to me. I guess what it boils down to, for me is my needs and desires are fluid and change over time. I have always had male friends who I was intement with….though how I shared that intimacy changed during my marriage…they were still around and I still loved them, but sexually I was being monogamous. Now is a different time and they are still there and we can share in a more sexual way again. At this point, none is more important then the other and each is truly special. Who knows this all might change someday…life is about change and growth…but most of all it’s about love and there are so many different kinds of love and ways of showing it…right now I am open. No rules except living with integrity and honesty. Well what category is that…who knows…

I am poly. I am married to a hot woman and am dating (at the moment) another hot woman. Life is good!

*raises hand*

I'm a poly life'er. I have been in a variety of poly relationships for the last 12 years. I started off my adult life having a couple of standard girlfriends but my first real relationship was as the boyfriend (third) to a married couple. since then that I have been part of closed circle groups of up to five. Currently I am married and having sex with only my wife. However, most weekends my bed has three to four naked people cuddled up sleeping together.

I've been poly for 10 years now and My wife and I share a boyfriend that lives with us and we both have a girlfriend as well. All five of us have been together for about four years now.

I'm poly but in transition, I had a Live in S.O. and for 7 years sex play was open, love was not. love was sacred, then last year she said she loved someone else and she had to be alone to pursue him and who am i to get in the way so I am playing the field but still consider in my mind poly because
a) I'm openly into more than one play partner at at time in my life and
B) more than one partner in my bed at the same time
c)that's my ideal situation with the SO ,and playmates for both of us, together, and on the side ,and all at once, if the moods strikes

all options in my book...

Monogamy never made sense for me –
Once I learned of Polyamory and its history,
as contrasted with Control, Repression, Guilt & Shame,
I was much relieved...

But we're still a minority, at least in the US, right?
Much work to do... a patient, quiet evangelism. :-)

I'm poly and have found a happy triad. Yeah!

my wife an i have an open relationship, we both got bored (really) and had that talk and decided to open the relationship (at the time we had 2 eairly teens) to others. shes been much more involved with others, i'm a bit quieter. Our relationship is working out for the time being, but as for mutipul partners living together, thats not gonna happen.

poly but not a furry.
